However, the food was on the table, but no one was in the living room.
Xue Fu glanced at the kitchen, but there was no one there.
She turned to Ji Yazhi and asked, "Mom, where are Dad and the others? Aren't they going to eat?"
Ji Yazhi: "They've already eaten and gone for a walk. I don't know when they got up."
When Ji Yazhi got up at 6:30, she heard noises outside.
It was Xue Mingcheng directing people there.
Ji Yazhi went out to check and found that they had almost finished preparing breakfast.
I cooked a pot of plain white porridge on the coal stove, and then chopped up the leftover pork belly from yesterday, mixed it into the dough, and made a pot of fresh meat patties.
Xue Fu glanced at the time on the living room wall, pursed her lips, and frowned almost imperceptibly.
Didn't I promise to take her to work?
However, his slightly furrowed brows quickly relaxed again.
Gu Chong's pancakes are so delicious.
The pancakes are very thin and crispy, not greasy at all, and they make a satisfying crunch with every bite. They're absolutely delicious with white porridge and pickled vegetables!
To be honest, she really missed Gu Chong's cooking!
Although her father is a good cook, Gu Chong is definitely better!
Xue Fu had just finished eating a pancake and was drinking the last bit of porridge in her bowl when the front door opened from the outside, and Xue Mingcheng and Gu Chong entered while chatting.
Xue Fu looked at the two of them.
After just one night apart, how come Gu Chong's relationship with her father has improved so much that they are now getting along so well?
She blinked, staring at the two of them with a puzzled look.
Previously, her father looked at Gu Chong as if he were a pig that was stealing cabbages, preferring to ignore him.
Gu Chong managed to win over her father just like that.
Xue Fu thought to herself, "Wow, that's amazing."
As soon as Xue Mingcheng entered the room, he saw his daughter sitting obediently at the dining table eating. His heart softened, and remembering how much weight his daughter had lost recently, he said, "Rongrong, would you like to eat some more?"
"There are still a few pancakes left, and there's still porridge in the pot."
"I'm full." Xue Fu was truly full.
Although Gu Chong's pancakes were very thin and crispy, each one was quite large, bigger than her face.
After eating this pancake and drinking a bowl of porridge for breakfast, Xue Fu was truly full.
"Then take a pancake to the newspaper office. You can eat it if you get hungry." Xue Mingcheng went to the kitchen, got a lunchbox, packed it for her, and told her to take it to work.
He was afraid that his daughter would go hungry and continue to lose weight.
"Are you coming home for lunch today?" Xue Mingcheng glanced at the quiet Gu Chong beside him and pointed, "Gu is home today."
Xue Fu nodded: "I'm back."
"Okay, your mother and I won't be back for lunch today." Xue Mingcheng instructed Gu Chong in a very natural manner. "Then, Xiao Gu, you cook lunch today, so Rongrong can have something hot when she gets back."
Gu Chong nodded, showing great understanding and awareness: "Okay, Uncle. I'll go buy groceries in a bit."
Xue Mingcheng gave him an approving look: "Hmm." He got it.
Gu Chong could make a good son-in-law. He doesn't have that stubborn, prideful, or argumentative nature.
She was flexible and resilient in front of Xue Mingcheng.
Xue Fu arrived at the newspaper office just in time to be late.
On her way to work today, Gu Chong dropped her off, and she couldn't help but chat with her long-lost boyfriend.
She argued with Gu Chong for quite a while, and if he hadn't glanced at his watch and reminded her of the time, Xue Fu would have been really late today.
Her half-day's wages went down the drain.
Gu Chong escorted her to the newspaper office entrance. Although they didn't go inside, Wang, who was standing at the front desk, immediately noticed that something was wrong.
However, Xue Fu was busy going upstairs, and Wang Qing didn't have a chance to verify her guess.
When Xue Fu finally had some free time in the morning, she took her water cup to the hot water supply station on the first floor to get some water, and there she ran into Wang Qing.
Even from a few meters away, Xue Fu could see Wang Qing's eyes light up instantly, the restless fire of gossip burning and flickering in her eyes.
Xue Fu instantly understood what Wang Qing was about to say from her expression.
"Why!"
Sure enough, Wang Qing moved closer to her, her eyebrows dancing and her eyes making expressions to convey her emotions.
"Xue Fu, is the man who brought you here today your long-distance boyfriend?"
"I saw it all. Your boyfriend is good-looking, very handsome, and tall too."
Wang Qing clicked her tongue and gave Xue Fu a thumbs up: "It has to be you. Your partner is really high quality. Take him to Sister Zhou and Sister Zhou will guarantee that she won't mention that matchmaking thing to you again."
When someone saw them, Xue Fu readily agreed, giving Gu Chong a formal status.
“Yes, that’s my boyfriend,” Xue Fu said, unable to hold back her laughter, her voice sweet and cloying. “He came to see me these past two days.”
This was the first time Wang Qing had ever seen Xue Fu in such a state of passionate love, and she felt incredibly sweet and flustered.
Originally, Wang Qing also had some reservations about Xue Fu, her long-distance boyfriend from another city.
I think Xue Fu is such a pretty and delicate girl, how come she has such poor taste in men? She chose someone from another place, how painful it must be for them to have a long-distance relationship.
When Wang Qing saw Xue Fu's boyfriend, she was convinced.
He's handsome; at least his face is quite appealing and makes people happy.
Xue Fu has such good taste.
"Does your boyfriend pick you up after get off work?" Wang Qing winked, "So that so many people won't think that you're just making excuses or lying when you say you have a boyfriend."
"Let's take him out for a spin, so that those who should give up will give up."
When Wang Qing went to see Sun Chengbin after finishing her college entrance exam yesterday, she overheard him mentioning that Li Yan planned to confess his feelings to Xue Fu later.
Li Yan really liked Xue Fu; he had liked her for a long time. Before, because of the college entrance exam, he was afraid that their romantic feelings would interfere with their studies, so Li Yan had suppressed his feelings.
As soon as the college entrance exam was over, he immediately started planning to confess his feelings.
He had it all planned out: on the weekend, he would use Wang Qing and Sun Chengbin as an excuse to invite Xue Fu to go to the movies. After the movie, he would ask Xue Fu if she wanted to go for a walk in the park.
When they went to the park, he seized the opportunity to read aloud to Xue Fu the love poem he had spent several nights revising and polishing.
As a result, Li Yan's plan was completely aborted before it could be officially implemented.
When he got off work today, he went downstairs and before he even reached the first floor, he heard a commotion in the newspaper office lobby downstairs.
He didn't pay attention at first, but then he caught their conversation mentioning "Xue Fu". Li Yan immediately perked up and listened carefully to the people in front of him.
"Hey, they said that Editor-in-Chief Chen's assistant, the one named Xue Fu, the really pretty girl, her boyfriend came to pick her up from get off work."
"Huh?" The voice was somewhat shocked, rising in tone, "She really does have a boyfriend? I thought it was just an excuse. Her boyfriend has never been to the newspaper office before, so why is he here today? Could it be a lie?"
"Oh, I heard it from the receptionist. She said Xue Fu admitted it herself. That's her boyfriend. He's from out of town. They were just in a long-distance relationship before."
\"ah..."
